In his remarks, the Vice-Chancellor recalled that the DoSFund was established thirteen years ago when he served as Dean of Students, with the objective of assisting underprivileged students in their academic pursuits. He noted that hundreds of students have benefitted from the Fund over the years, completing their programmes through financial support.
He expressed appreciation to members for accepting their roles, noting that the inauguration ushers the Board into “serious business.” He emphasized the need to enhance fund mobilization to support more students.
“Many students may have dropped out of school because they lacked the financial support needed to continue their education,” Prof. Honyenuga stated, appealing to alumni, corporate bodies, philanthropists, and other stakeholders to contribute generously to ensure that no qualified student is denied higher education due to financial hardship.
The ceremony was witnessed by some Deans and Directors.
